    Windows 2k COA

    I'm setting up a training lab and I was wondering if anyone knows a place where I could buy just the 2k pro coa? I already have a disk just need the product key and liscense for each one. Is this even legal?

    Go to www.pricewatch.com and put in "windows 2000 COA" in the search. There are tons of places with them. How legal they are, and under what stipulation can you use them, I have not the foggiest...

    Oddly enough making copies of your OS is legal so you can make backups but distributing it and using it witout paying for it is not (least that was the old rules, not 100% sure anymore). If you put a burned copy of the OS on your PC without getting the license (that you paid for) first you are being a pirate. To further complicate matters - you are only supposed to use one license per computer and legaly need several copies.


    M$ should have demo copies of their OS'es that you can use to learn (well, they did back in the day and still do with server). My NT and 2000 training CD's were 120 day eval disks and I know they had a link to download 2003 for free too. Not 100% but this might be the way to go - either that or make the jolly roger your desktop background.

    This is the .iso of the eval version of M$ server 2003 (it runs out in 180 days).
